Up to the Thought of Coconut
I had pushed the sibling scent 'Amalia Gourmand' into another corner despite its name, but 'Quilombo' leaves no doubt: This is truly a gourmand: caramel, quickly turning not creamy anymore, but rather dusty, a bit burnt, and after a quarter of an hour, even more than just "a bit" burnt. Carners 'Palo Santo' sends its regards.
However, the vanilla seems to be exploring its smoky potential in parallel. In any case, the smokiness does not smell sharp and pale like something accidentally left too long on the stove; rather, it is aromatic and rounded. I suspect we are simply experiencing the skill of real vanilla with its various facets, which I had only partially encountered before. Today there are floral aspects, freshness like from plant sap, chewy caramel, some chocolatey sprinkles, fruity hints up to the thought of coconut(!), as well as a touch of wood. All of this is, of course, only lightly touched upon, never fully reached. Strong.
As late morning approaches, the part scraped from the bottom of the pot increases again, and the increasingly sugary sweetness is testing my patience a bit. However, 'Quilombo' just manages to curve around this, and the sweetness recedes somewhat over the course of the afternoon, while the scent gradually fades away without any significant further change. Patience test No. 2: hours of burnt, slightly sweet milk… burnt, slightly sweet milk… burnt, slightly sweet milk. This unchangeability throughout the afternoon into the evening unfortunately becomes quite annoying over time.
Conclusion: I will leave it - at most - at the first third.
I thank Rotkehlchen for the sample.
